Review of 'Lost Gods' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Very weak and boring beginning; almost rushed.
Fortunately it starts to pick up pace. Lots of other works can be glimpsed in this book but integrates nicely

Book is good enough for the type of writing. It is not really a YA book but more of a kid’s book with dark strokes at times.
Overall is quite entertaining and I can see the appeal for this book.
Don’t really know if I’m all that invested into the saga to continue with the next one (most likely yes) but is worth mentioning that it didn’t envelop me enough to make me want to keep consuming it like crazy
